Schulz Museum and family archives, The Peanuts Collection comes in a sturdy slipcase and features high-quality reproductions of original sketches, comics, and photographs from the world of Peanuts.

My Review:
This book's title does not lie. It is a treasure of treasures! I thought it was going to be a kind of cute picture book and I would review it in a night or two. Not true! It has provided night after night of reading and enjoying the whole book. From the moment I opened the book, I was enchanted. Page after page is loaded with surprise after surprise. It is the best collection of history, and artifacts of the Peanuts Gang that I have seen. I adored it. I could tell you all little perks and details, but to do so would wreck the complete euphoric treats that are bestowed upon discovering the contents. As I opened the book and squealed with each surprise, my husband came over to the sofa and joined me on this wonderful journey into the history of Peanuts. We slowly turned pages and examined the artifacts. It is an exquisite collection of artistically presented gems for all Peanuts junkies. Fans everywhere will be delighted. It is the perfect gift. I can't part with mine but will keep it in mind for gift giving this holiday season.

I will say the first photo doesn't do the book justice. The book is large and thick and really quite a beauty for the coffee table. It comes encased in a nice hard cover that slips over the book. Oh what the heck. I will show you one photo.
